Diabetes Burnout : Preventing It, Surviving It, Finding Inner Peace
by William H. Polonsky

From the Back Cover: Do you get depressed about having to deal with diabetes day in and day out? Do you worry about complications, get angry about the never-ending chore of self-care, and get frurstrated by poor results when it feels like you've worked so hard?

If so, you may be suffering from "diabetes burnout"--and you're not alone.

This book addresses not only your frustrations, but also how burnout may contribute to poor self-care, high blood glucose, and later complications. A series of interactive questionnaires and self-evaluations guide you toward overcoming the barriers to good control. Worksheets help you to assess your motivational level and establish a successful plan of action.

Diabetes Burnout addresses such issues as:

Ten good reasons to hate blood sugar monitoring (and what to do about them)
Worrying about long-term complications: the uses and misuses of fear
Depression and diabetes: a tough combination
Friends and family: the diabetes police
How stress influences diabetes (and what you can do about it)
And more!
Don't let diabetes be in charge of you. Let Diabetes Burnout show you how to take charge of diabetes.

A highly recommended book by my community - but one I have not had a chance to read myself. I have a list of books I am hunting down and reviewing. When I am able to get a copy of this book, I will give you an update. My list is long and my budget is small. :)
